3-bet pots play a little differently than a regular raised pot, so this isn't just a standard c-bet.

The answer to this is a little villain dependent. What is his CO raising range, and what is his 3-bet calling range? To me this looks generally like a mid pocket pair the way he has played it, and a mid PP is NEVER folding here. Which makes the c-bet not look so hot.

That said, I'll make this c-bet a decent portion of the time, particularly against villains who will raise and call 3-bets light. So I think its pretty opponent specific.

If villain is tight, I take the free card in position.

But as played, fold. Looks like 88-99

i almost always take a free card here in a 3 bet pot... unlikely that villain has AJ or AQ and much more likely are pairs 10 10 or less

Readless bet here 100% unless the board is really really bad like 789s or something. He could just be set mining or have some whiffed overs. If he was a really snug player then I may check/fold the flop and give him credit for a decent PP. Otherwise you can't wimp out on these type flops because you will never get paid when you have JJ-AA.

Against an unknown this is a c-bet 100% of the time. If this has been happening alot to you recently then youre probably just running into the upper part of people's ranges.

[Tanky]

as long as villain is calling 3bets with more than just 88+ this cbet is fine, youre probably just running into some hands. I would make your cbet smaller in a 3bet pot, no need to bet this much as you can get the money in by betting smaller when you have AA KK QQ. Bet 1/2 to 3/5 of the pot in these situations, just make sure you do the same with big overpairs and flopped sets.
